Awaiting decision Cheshire West and Chester 19/03759/HED Hedgerow Application

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Removal of Hedge - We would like to join two fields together to simplify and make farming operations more efficient. The two fields concerned are SJ5874 3285 (Middle Pikenall) and SJ5874 2166 (Church field). The proposed new field would replicate the form and shape of both fields on either side. In total, we would like to remove approximately 122m of hedge. Over the past 12 years the farm has been involved in the higher level stewardship scheme, which has involved planting 1000's of metres of new hedges. Looking at the field system on Cheshire Tithe Maps Online it would appear that this hedge was planted post-1845 as the field boundary (i.e. the hedge we would like to remove) is in a different place on the Tithe Map.
